UPDATE 7.0.3 and how this was HOTFIXEDThere is the short summary for those who are curious about this pet and how a few players obtained it. If you are really interested there is the longer full version below. NOTE :hysteria can no longer be kept when you leave stormwind or orgrimmar as of the latest hotfix.

Short summary....As of patch 7.0.3 you were able to tame this direhorn through the use of the demon invasion doomsayer buff called "hysteria". Hysteria allowed you to target friendly npc's for 10 seconds after receiving the buff.

Long version: First, you needed a full group of people including the hunter who wants the pet and a warlock.(5 total). The hunter and the person of choice would then stay in stormwind or orgrimmar and wait for the dreadlord buff from the doomsayers ( this effect is passed at random). The "dreadlord" would then run to a place where the guards were not and the hunter would go to them. The other three would go to the isle of thunder or isle of giants.(this guide is for the isle of giants because that is the one i have done). Once at the isle of giants the three people will make it to the direhorn that is under the table at a troll camp. The warlock would then put a summoning stone in front of the direhorn. The hunter would also need the macro "/tar Stunted Direhorn /cast tame beast". The hunter would then get a summon and when ready the "dreadlord" would then put the buff hysteria onto the hunter and the hunter would immediately take the summon. The hunter would then run in melee range of the direhorn and spam the macro.( If not in melee range the direhorn would evade the tame). The direhorn would then become friendly again if the buff wore off before the tame was completed and you would need to go back to the "dreadlord" and restart the summoning/macro spamming process. Remember this has been patched! This is just information!

Thanks to the hunters of petopia and a bunch of players who volunteered to help the hunters this was doable for the day it was available.

The Stunted Direhorn was a patch 7.0.3 24-hour hunter tame phenomenon. I'd approximate less than 30 users worldwide got their hands on these big baby direhorn pets. I'd mark them as the second rarest Warcraft pet, behind the incredibly rare Furious Goat - which I approximate at no more than 10.

To tame a Stunted Direhorn, a player had to have Hysteria cast on them, and then immediately accept a warlock summon to Isle of Thunder's Beast Pens. Hysteria made the player an 'enemy' to all NPCs, allowing a player to be attacked by those that would otherwise be friendly - but only for 10 seconds. Stunted Direhorns were coded to be friendly to all, but would attack a Hysteria'd player who was summoned next to them like a normal Hostile mob. A hunter would target the attacking Direhorn and cast tame, and voilà.

Hysteria was hotfixed around 24 hours later to be removed upon summoning, after the first tame went public on the Petopia forums. The Stunted Direhorn NPCs were additionally flagged to be untameable to prevent further abuse. Due to the low volume of hunters that actually obtained the pet, Blizzard allowed them to remain untouched.

The Stunted Direhorn hunter pet is a bit big - height-wise, it's about the size of a 110 Kodo pet, though it is much fatter, making it appear larger than normal.

It is the ONLY 'baby' pet that hunters have successfully tamed on Live - tameable baby pets being limited to Blizzard beta servers before being hotfixed.
